The Way of the Psychonaut Vol. 1 and 2

Encyclopedia for Inner Journeys

De: Stanislav Grof M.D.

Narrado por: Becca Tarnas PhD

The Way of the Psychonaut, Volumes 1 and 2 is one of the most important books ever written about the human psyche and the spiritual quest. The new understandings were made possible thanks to Albert Hofmann’s discovery of LSD―the microscope and telescope of the human psyche―as well as other psychedelic substances.

This 2 Volume set's comprehensive work is a tour de force through the worlds of psychology and psychotherapy, Holotropic Breathwork, maps of the psyche, birth, sex, and death, psychospiritual rebirth, the roots of trauma, spiritual emergency and transpersonal experiences, karma and reincarnation, higher creativity, great art, and archetypes. Written in his late eighties, at the height of his magnificent career, The Way of the Psychonaut is possibly Grof’s greatest contribution. The commanding breadth and depth of his knowledge is astounding, the tone of his writing easy and accessible, and his narratives brightened with amusing anecdotes, intriguing personal accounts, and brilliant case studies. Grof reviews the history of depth psychotherapy, the important revisions that are needed to make it more effective, and why the inner quest is such an essential pursuit.

As one of the fathers of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, its most experienced practitioner, and deeply deserving of a Nobel Prize in medicine, in these two volumes Grof has successfully unveiled a new and sweeping paradigm in self-exploration and healing.

The vast and practical knowledge in this book is sure to be an invaluable and treasured resource for all serious seekers.

Mind Expanding

Nothing short of extraordinary (whether you have had psychotropic experiences or are simply interested in human psychology).

Confusing and badly written book

I had high hopes about the book and I thought that this is one of the gems of literacy. What I got was mixture of new age, magical thinking, some statistics and golden nuggets of information some where between all of this. It felt like nobody edited the book and this was a random collection of Grof's notebook writings.

This is a horrible book.

let's blame everything on sex and our inability to control our lust for it. What else can I say almost nothing too do with psychedelics.
